Samsung Pay, a payment service owned by South Korea’s Samsung Electronics will stop working with Russia’s national Mir payment cards from April 3, the two payment systems said, according to Reuters.
Payment cards issued by Mir have become more important since its U.S. rivals suspended operations in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and their payment cards which were issued in the country stopped working abroad.
„Starting April 3, 2024, adding and using Mir cards in Samsung Pay will not be available,” Samsung Pay said in a statement on its website. „At the same time, the functionality of adding and using club cards/loyalty cards in the Samsung Pay app will work unchanged.”
